Ayn Rand

“If any civilization is to survive, it is the morality of altruism that men have to reject.”

“Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps, down new roads, armed with nothing but their own vision.”

“Money is only a tool. It will take you wherever you wish, but it will not replace you as the driver.”

“So you think that money is the root of all evil. Have you ever asked what is the root of all money?”

“A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others.”

“Every man builds his world in his own image. He has the power to choose, but no power to escape the necessity of choice.”

“To achieve, you need thought. You have to know what you are doing and that's real power.”

“Just as man can't exist without his body, so no rights can exist without the right to translate one's rights into reality, to think, to work and keep the results, which means: the right of property.”
